Hand Safety
Our hands are involved in almost every task we complete while at work, placing them at constant risk of injury. For employees, a hand injury can have devastating consequences, often resulting in painful amputations, breaks and lacerations. Next World’s VR Hand Safety course takes trainees through an immersive warehouse environment, teaching them the critical information they need to avoid the risk of serious hand injuries.
Learning Outcomes
The central focus of this course is to teach employees the importance of hand safety when working in hazardous environments.
- Inspect various work areas and identify potential hand hazards, such as pinch points, entanglement risks, laceration hazards, and burn risks.
- Learn to apply appropriate safety measures to protect their hands, including using the correct PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) for specific tasks, following lock-out/tag-out procedures, avoiding shortcuts, and staying alert and aware of their surroundings.
- Understand the significance of proper hand placement and positioning to prevent hand injuries. Learn to consider hand positioning in relation to moving objects, rotating components, machinery, and potential hazards.

Why Choose Immersive Learning?
Our VR training courses are built from the ground up to offer the most immersive training experience possible. Because of this deep user immersion, VR training has been proven to result in much higher retention rates – up to 80% one year after training, compared to just 20% from traditional training methods.
Immersive learning helps build confidence in trainees abilities and prepares them for real-world situations by allowing them to practice and test their skills in challenging scenarios. A recent PwC study found VR training increased the confidence of participants by 275%.
In addition to providing an immersive and engaging training environment, VR allows trainees to experience the consequences of poor safety while they train and practice their skills in high danger scenarios without any of the normal risks or costs.
